The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177: 571 Long Yi Returns (Two More)

Gu Jiao looked at the cloak of Princess Ning An and couldn’t help thinking of the exactly same cloak that the tranquil imperial concubine owned. Truly like mother, like daughter.

It was a gambling house filled with all sorts of people.

But Princess Ning An seemed to know her way around quite well, and before long, she entered a room at the end of a corridor on the first floor, guarded by someone.

Gu Jiao tried to enter but was told that it wasn’t a place for ordinary people to access.

She would have to stake out another spot.

"Over here, over here!"

In a small, rundown courtyard next to the gambling house, Gu Chengfeng beckoned to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao walked over.

This was a mansion that hadn’t been inhabited for a long time, its backyard wall shared with the room in the gambling house. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

The two of them pressed their ears against the wall and could faintly hear some of the conversation from the room.

"...Didn’t I lead people away? It was your own people who failed. Are you going to blame me?"

It was Princess Ning An’s voice.

Gu Chengfeng silently asked Gu Jiao, "What does she mean?"

It must be about that time when Xiao Hen was lured out of Capital City by the case involving Minister Li, and Minister Xing was there too. They nearly fell victim to a group of men in black, only escaping from the tight spot because of the black fire beads.

From this conversation, it was almost certain the opposing party was the force from Yan Country.

There was a dangerous aura coming from the room that even Gu Jiao felt wary of.

Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes, a hint of excitement bubbling up within her.

Princess Ning An spoke again, "But on the other hand, who exactly is he? Why do you want to kill him?"

"It’s none of your business."

A man’s voice answered.

It seemed Ning An was not aware of Xiao Liulang’s true identity. She likely didn’t even know Xiao Liulang was Xiao Hen; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the Empress Xiao’s presence to sow discord, only to end up making a fool of herself.

The matter of sowing discord was brought out by Eunuch Qin’s spy in Kunning Palace and then relayed to Gu Jiao and others in a letter.

It wasn’t surprising that Princess Ning An was not informed. Firstly, she had never seen Xiao Hen, so it would be hard to make a connection based on appearance. Secondly, perhaps these people didn’t want Xianle Inn to find out Xiao Hen’s identity.
